Political reporters, NOW is finally the time to go interview some diner patrons

“Physics, medicine, climate science, and biology know no borders and it is critical we continue our momentum to bring our movement to a global audience. Stand Up for Science International will ensure science serves the public good everywhere,” - @cdelawalla.bsky.social, PhD, SUFS Founder & CEO

We have some time-bounded problems that are simply not going to get solved if we don't know how to deal with this kind of attack, or worse, if we won't advocate for our own position. The planet will become unlivable in my lifetime. I'm sorry if that makes me a little bit unyielding as an activist

What versus how is always fun. It's always logistics, all the way down.

A first-of-its-kind ProPublica analysis found that children who entered the U.S. by themselves are being detained and removed at about three times the rate they were during the final years of the first Trump presidency.

"Their 14-month-old daughter, Giovanni, was found crying beside her mother’s body in southern Guatemala. [...] When STLPR informed him that Pérez Paz had been shot and killed alongside his wife, the attorney said it “doesn’t matter” before hanging up the phone."

The actual history of democracy in most democratic systems is that most people understand that they have to vote for a candidate or a party that will get them closest to where they wanna be

I made this handy chart for the people who keep blaming others for the current state of things.

“We have a red-flag system here, where if there’s anything that gets really out of whack, they can immediately tag the milk, and it doesn’t go to anything but cheese. … Because, you know, cheese is resistant to pathogens.” - Mark McAfee, raw-milk dairy owner Research has shown that isn't true:

Right now, everyone faces a hard binary choice between authoritarianism and democracy. If you don’t think it’s a binary choice and that because of your issue or issues that both sides are the same, then you’re part of the problem.

We cannot use restorative justice with people who are not admitting they did anything wrong, and we certainly can't forgive them *before* they've made practical amends, and we certainly should not be rushing to explain things for them.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

According to the data from flight trackers July 23rd was the busiest day for commercial air travel ever recorded, and in other news, as this summer of extreme heat continues multiple countries are being consumed by wildfires, but that is probably just a coincidence.

Sunday's all-time and near-record highs from the Rockies to the Plains—brought to you by the fingerprint of heat-trapping pollution. Highs between 95-105°F, made more likely by a warming atmosphere that's been showing up time & time again this summer. (It's as if something has changed 🤔)
